Holiday

Guys, after a lot of careful thought, I’ve decided it’s time for me to migrate. To a new blog. Because I’m graduating and everything. At the moment I’m uploading my travel diary from the month I spent travelling around Iceland, Norway, and Copenhagen. Here’s an extract, and if you like it you can check it […]

By my calculations I should be in Norway as you read this. If all has gone to plan, I am currently in a museum, about to eat something delicious having spent the day swimming in a bay. Catch up with me on my Instagram (jai7deo) for scenic-ness. But for now, a blog post in the […]

So after completing my entire degree last week, I’ve decided to leave Leicester for Iceland. Not permanently, that’s just where I’m going for a post-degree holiday before I enter the real world. My friend and I decided to backpack across the Nordic lands of Scotland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden for the whole of […]

Once again, I’ve gone through the archives of the reputable sites that only a third year would know to bring you ten (more) historically accurate Christmas facts for you to delight your family and friends with this Christmas Eve Recipes show that mince pies were in fact initially made from meat, as per the Tudor […]

Christmas is really a time of year where nothing appeals more than sitting under a blanket filling your body with chocolate. But why not do that whilst also catching up on seminar reading?!?!

So before I bow out from my role as a student blogger, I thought I’d let you guys know what I’ll be getting up to in the months and years ahead! Many of you will probably already know that I’m going to be continuing my studies at postgraduate level. I recently had it […]

After a long Christmas break it can often be difficult to re-adjust to University life – especially the academic sides of it! For me, it seems that as soon as I get back into a routine at home, I have to leave again. Over the past three years I’ve gotten much more used to it […]

It’s time to open day 1 of your advent calendar if you haven’t done so, and get into the Christmas spirit! Today, for the first time ever, Enactus Leicester put on a festive market and an ice-rink right in the middle of campus. It included over 20 stalls of local food, drinks and crafts […]

Going on holiday means relaxing away from the responsibilities of everyday life, but my recent trip to Kalkan in southern Turkey proved that continuing to learn is not incompatible with leisure. Whilst I spent a fair amount of the fortnight by the pool reading books (namely Paper Towns by John Green, Insurgent by Veronica Roth […]
